The hotel is perfectly located just a minute from the beach and surrounded by shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms could use some updating but the junior suite is worth the extra cost for its beauty. The service is friendly and helpful with a range of convenient amenities available. The dining options vary, but some choices are lacking. Overall, a convenient location with room for improvement in room quality and dining variety.

The hotel is in a prime location, just a minute's walk from Copacabana beach and a short stroll to Ipanema beach, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and a great supermarket. The rooms were clean and beautiful, although different from the photos provided.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, just steps from Copacabana Beach and with a delightful view during breakfast. The rooms were cozy with a nice touch of a complimentary caipirinha, but a bit smaller than expected with limited storage space. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff readily assisting with cabs and directions. The dining experience was fabulous, especially on Saturdays, and the facilities were well-equipped.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean despite needing some extra lighting options, but they do require maintenance. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, although some were a bit loud and inconsiderate. The location was excellent, close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, but some minor inconveniences made me question the value for the price paid. The dining experience left a bit to be desired in terms of quality and variety.
